A Look Back...

Our high temperature on Christmas Day 2011 was 46° which is about 15° above average for this time of year. Right now, my forecast has temps remaining above average as we head into the New Year's weekend.

So how do the forecasted temps right now compare to the actual high temps we had during the same week last year?

Well, below are two charts to give you an idea. The top one is the forecasted highs as of Christmas Day for the week ahead and the bottom graph are last year's recorded high temps in the Quad Cities for the same days.

While we did have two really warm days last year, we did deal with more seasonable temps for much of the holiday week in 2010.
